I believe my role as a therapist is similar to both a detective and a tour guide in helping you navigate and explore who you are, where you've been, who you want to become, and where you want to go. I am also a certified conditioning coach, certified nutrition coach, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.
I work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem, grief, and addictions. I am caring, and empathic, and hope to help you become the best version of yourself so that you can live your most fulfilling future! I use a variety of interventions including CBT, DBT, Person-centered focus, solution-based focus, and mindfulness. Have you ever felt depressed, anxious, or not good enough? Do you ever wonder how to move past a traumatic incident from your past? I love being able to help someone realize their full potential, become the best version of themselves, and lead a happy life. I use active listening and reflection. I like for my clients to feel safe and secure talking about any topics in their sessions. In our first session, I will ask a variety of questions that cover multiple areas of your life to get a better understanding of your underlying issues and find ways to best address your issues at hand.
I'm Ayana Lewis and I am a licensed clinical therapist in Georgia and Texas. I work well with those wanting to learn skills to better manage Anxiety andor Depression. I also help many navigate their relationships with others while working on their own self-concept (how they see themselves and the world around them). Oftentimes, we focus on past life experiences or are anxious about the future; therefore, I use a combination approach that includes mindfulness (being present) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (thoughts influence behaviors). These techniques help with grounding and appreciating the present moment while identifying belief patterns that are a hindrance. I believe in helping clients find feasible solutions to their perceived problems; therefore, I also utilize a solution-focused approach to therapy. I work well with clients that are experiencing low self-esteem and self-worth. I help clients recognize their value and how they are presenting to the world around them. Additionally, I assist those attempting to navigate life transitions including relationships, work, or family matters. I attempt to foster a relaxed environment and I want clients to feel as though we are having a normal conversation and not feel anxious about this therapeutic experience. I have always had the desire to help others; therefore, leading me down the path of becoming a Social Worker. I worked with and assisted many populations within my 17 years as a Social Worker and believe I have a good understanding of others. I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2014 and started offering a more therapeutic approach to clients within the healthcare system. I decided to work as a therapist because I wanted to gain a better understanding of people's thought processes and help them become a better version of themselves. At the end of our initial meeting, I work with clients to develop therapeutic treatment goals. I believe it is important to work together to establish these goals as I desire clients to feel as though they are getting the most out of this experience. Clients should expect an open and engaging counseling style. I am here for you to listen to your story and offer insight as needed or desired.

Tara Sanders is an LPC (licensed professional counselor) and has been in the mental health field for over 20 years. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Clark Atlanta University and earned her Master of Science degree from Abilene Christian University. She has a wide range of career experience that allows her to adapt to the varied needs of her clients. Her diverse experience was derived from working in an all-male maximum-security prison, her position as a school counselor to provide counseling services to children in need of temporary, situational, and/or ongoing emotional challenges, her years acting as a mobile crisis assessor, and her role as supervisor for a state-wide crisis hotline. Additionally, she worked as a Military Family Life Counselor for 10 years overseas in Europe (Germany and Italy) and stateside. Tara believes that individuals who are entering counseling should feel comfortable and safe, which is why she uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an approach that highlights channeling negative thoughts into positive ones. She believes that stressors in one’s life can feel unmanageable, but she helps her clients to maximize their resiliency and come to view the challenge as a bump in the road -a bump that can be moved past into a successful, healthier path. Her goal is for all her patients to become open to gaining new perspectives and be willing to explore family dynamics and upbringings that have developed them into the people they are today. Tara works with her clients to assist them with changing any self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. She truly believes that caring for yourself and your relationships are the most important tasks that you will ever have.
